2. What inspired Charuka to launch the Arts to Hearts Project, and why it’s important for her to build a supportive community for women artists.

3. The reasons why Charuka considers all of her projects to be interconnected, rather than seeing them as separate entities.

4. How Charuka was able to rebuild after experiencing trauma (one step at a time), while finding rest and comfort in her studio space.
